F. D. Byington Covered Pensions;
Dear Sir -
In looking through my private papers. I colored the question - why my inquiries in regard to this pension ceased - I am quite an invalid & suppose that accounts for it - I have written to the Insurances county officials - for information - also to the State Librarian of Va - He died early 1830 - and drew a pension himself before that -
Respectfully

Madam:
In response to your letter dated the 14 th instant, you are advised that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford any information in regard to William Gibbs who was a Corporal and Sergeant in Captain Thomas Nelson's Company, First Virginia Infantry enlisting June 8, 1777.
William Gibbs S. File No. 48,746, Revolutionary War pensioner, who served in Captain George Rice's Company, Colonel Daniel Morgan's Eleventh Virginia Regiment, had a wife Jane. He stated in 1830 that he was 60 years old, he was then a resident of Tuscarawas County Ohio. He enlisted in the State of Virginia, town and county not given, and it does not appear that he came from England.
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.
